On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, Los Angeles-based funk/soul/rock band, A Warrior Nation, will headline a special event in North Hollywood, in what will be one of the city's only celebrations of the Presidential Inauguration with live music performances and celebrity hosts.
The evening's celebrity hosts will kick things off: Jennia Fredrique, who played the role of "Brandy" in the 2008 film "Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom"; and Roshawn Franklin, who can currently be seen on FOX's hit television series, "24".
The event's talented music lineup will begin with opening artist "Mdot," who won Best R&B Male at Urban Threshold's 4th Annual Underground Music Awards, in New York City, and has also won various awards in the NAACP ACT-SO competitions. Next up, will be hip-hop/alternative/trip-hop performer, Essential MC. Closing out the individual artists lineup, will be one of the world's most gifted vocalists, Kim Yarbrough.
The band lineup will follow, starting with Los Angeles-based alternative/rock/indie band, Wylde Bunch, followed by another local act, funk/soul/jam band, Pinot. Rounding out the band lineup, will be headliner, A Warrior Nation.
"We are very proud to be a cornerstone of this special event, celebrating a moment in history" said Marc Littlejohn, A Warrior Nation's manager. "The evening's lineup itself, represents the change that will come not only in 2009, but throughout President-Elect Obama's term in office. We're excited to be doing what we're doing, here and now."
North Hollywood lounge and live music venue, Blue Moon Nights, will host the evening's festivities, which begin at 8:00 PM (Pacific). The event, which is co-produced by Marc Littlejohn and Anthony Davis, is expected to see an attendance of about 500 people. All will be entertained not only by the live music performances, but also by the various inauguration balls and parties being broadcast from Washington D.C., and projected on the venue's 11 flat-screen televisions. In addition, a special guest DJ and dancing will enhance the celebration.
Admission for the evening is $ 10.00 per person, and a portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to The HUSH Foundation
